Description: Subscribe: bit.ly/1dKbiT4 This two-year-old boy from rural India is suffering from a tragic eye condition and is slowly losing his eye sight. Little Jailian Kaipeng, from a very remote village in Tripura, north eastern India, suffers from a rare disorder called Orbital Pseudotumour, which is the inflammation of the eye muscles, or even worse he has a type of eye cancer called Retinoblastoma. While his sight could be saved if he receives prompt treatment, his parents cannot afford the expensive bills. His young father Neirbanglal Kaipeng, 28, and mother Chengmaite, 25, said Jailian was born a healthy baby but his eyes began to swell when he was just two-months-old, and for the last two years they have watched the condition worsen, too poor to do anything. Neirbanglal, who has always worked as a daily labourer earning just Rs 150 (£1.70) a day, said: ‘His right eye started swelling when he was just two months old. A red line would appear and disappear on his eye ball and it’d cause is eye to swell. We were very shocked when we first saw it, we had no idea what to do, or who to turn to. It is devastating to see my child suffering like this. He cannot see properly and it kills me to see him like this. I am possibly the most useless father who is not able to help his son.’ Due to the amount of donation requests, we have set up a donation page to raise money for Zailian’s cause.
